Self-referrals
A partner buying through their own link earns nothing: matching emails are caught.
Fraud protection
Radar vets every new affiliate against the 200,000+ already on Tolt, then checks every referral before payout. Self-referrals, duplicate IPs, paid ads and banned keywords are caught, and anything suspicious waits for your call.

Affiliate programs running on Tolt
High Performer on G2, Fall 2026Affiliate screening
Fraud often starts before the first referral, with someone who has gamed a program before. When an affiliate applies to yours, Radar checks them against the affiliates across Tolt and flags anyone already caught elsewhere, with the reasons.

What Radar catches
Paid and social ads
No commission from Google, Bing or YouTube ads, or from Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Reddit and X.
Link keywords
Words like coupon or discount in a link stop the commission, so coupon sites can’t cash in.
Duplicate IPs
Sign-ups from one IP, and partners running several accounts, are flagged for review.
The review queue
Radar holds what it flags and shows you why. Everything else pays out on schedule.

Fraud FAQ
Tolt Radar
What does Tolt Radar catch?
Self‑referrals, where a partner buys through their own link; duplicate IPs and multi‑accounting; clicks from paid ads and social ads; banned keywords in affiliate links; and sign‑ups from countries you block.
Does Tolt check affiliates before they join?
Yes. When someone applies to your program, Radar checks them against the 200,000+ partners on Tolt and flags anyone already caught gaming another program, with the reasons, so you can turn them away before they get a link.
200,000+Affiliates every applicant is checked against
Does Radar block commissions or hold them?
Both. Rules you switch on stop a commission from being earned at all, and anything suspicious is held for your review before payout, so you approve or reject it first.
What is an affiliate’s risk score?
Every partner gets a risk level from their activity, so the ones worth a closer look stand out in your review queue, with the signals behind each flag.
Your rules
Can affiliates still run ads?
Your call. Block commissions from Google, Bing or YouTube ads, and from Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Reddit or X, or leave any of them open. You can change it any time.
What are blocked link keywords?
Words you don’t allow in affiliate link parameters, like coupon or discount, so links can’t be reworked for coupon sites. You can block up to 50.
Can I keep out sign-ups from some countries?
Yes. Block partners from countries you don’t serve, and the spam sign‑ups stop before they ever reach your program.
Payments
What happens when a referred customer refunds?
When a payment is refunded, its commission is taken back from the partner. When a subscription is cancelled, Tolt stops calculating commission on it.
Does it hold up at scale?
At HeyReach, with close to 3,000 partners, Tolt has identified 300 self‑referrals, rejected more than 400 suspicious commissions and reviewed over $100,000 in associated revenue.
